A campaigner has vowed to fight back against a decision to axe Salford’s ‘Jam Butty’ holiday camp.

It was revealed this week that the camp in Prestatyn, north Wales, will close after all despite a campaign.

But determined businessman and campaigner Nick Abbott is vowing to continue fight and is to seek legal help after uncovering the original deeds to the land.

These state the camp can be sold if it is ‘no longer required’, or ‘for want of adequate support’ or ‘otherwise cannot be effectually kept up’. Mr Abbott believes the centre, launched in 1926, is still needed to provide summer holidays for the city’s children.

And since launching the Save the Jam Butty Camp campaign in February – after the town hall decided to withdraw an annual £50,000 grant for the club – he says enough offers of financial support have been received to keep it open, despite its management committee deciding it is no longer viable.

Mr Abbott said: “I don’t think the committee can satisfy the requirements to prove it is no longer needed. We have had offers of money for building work and to replace the withdrawn council funding.
